Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished &#8211; his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will&#8217;s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming &#8211; and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they&#8217;ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they&#8217;ll need everyone &#8211; the full party &#8211; standing together, one last time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT STRANGER THINGS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A love letter to the &#8217;80s classic genre films that captivated a generation, <em>Stranger Things<\/em> is a thrilling drama set in the seemingly normal Midwestern town of Hawkins, Indiana. After a boy vanishes into thin air, his close-knit group of friends and family search for answers and are pulled into a high-stakes and deadly series of events. Beneath the surface of their ordinary town lurks an extraordinary supernatural mystery, along with top-secret government experiments and a dangerous gateway that connects our world to a powerful yet sinister realm. Friendships will be tested and lives will be altered as what they discover will change Hawkins and possibly the world &#8211; forever.<\/p>\n<p>Created by The Duffer Brothers, <em>Stranger Things<\/em> debuted in 2016 and quickly became one of Netflix&#8217;s most popular television series ever, with its fourth season alone amassing over 140.7M views globally. Rooted in &#8217;80s nostalgia, it boosted Kate Bush&#8217;s track &#8220;Running Up That Hill&#8221; into the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time in its 38-year history. The series has also garnered over 70 awards worldwide, including Emmys\u00ae and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, and has been nominated for over 230 awards. The highly anticipated fifth and final season will release later this year in three volumes @ 5PM PT: four episodes on November 26, three episodes on Christmas, and The Finale on New Year&#8217;s Eve.<\/p>\n<p>\r\n      <table id=\"tmdb-pro\">\r\n        <tbody>\r\n          <tr>\r\n            <td class=\"tmdb-pro-poster\" width=\"20%\" rowspan=\"3\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w300_and_h450_bestv2\/\/uOOtwVbSr4QDjAGIifLDwpb2Pdl.jpg\"><\/td>\r\n            <td>\r\n              <h3><b>Stranger Things<\/b><\/h3>\r\n            <\/td>\r\n          <\/tr>\r\n          <tr><td><span><b>Network:<\/b> Netflix<\/span><span><b>Genre:<\/b> Sci-Fi &amp; Fantasy<\/span><span><b>Seasons:<\/b> 5<\/span><span><b>Episodes:<\/b> 42<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><h5><b>Overview<\/b><\/h5><p>When a young boy vanishes, a small town uncovers a mystery involving secret experiments, terrifying supernatural forces, and one strange little girl.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\r\n        <\/tbody>\r\n      <\/table>  \r\n    <div class=\"content_block\" id=\"custom_post_widget-26535\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25983\" src=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/program-info-provided-by-tmdb.jpg\" alt=\"Powered by TMDB.org\" width=\"250\" height=\"52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/program-info-provided-by-tmdb.jpg 353w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/program-info-provided-by-tmdb-300x63.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/program-info-provided-by-tmdb-350x74.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"line-height: .4em;\"><span style=\"white-space: pre-wrap; font: normal 8pt Arial;\">TV &amp; Movie information has been provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/\">themoviedb.org<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To celebrate the conclusion of the record-breaking series, Netflix announced today it will bring the finale episode of Stranger Things 5 to select theaters nationwide.
